This is extremely phunny to me as I've done the same thing:).......but
you having the same problem woke me up........and I think I'll be able
to get muLinux running on my neomagic equiped notebook.
As I said in an early posting to this list I managed to get Mu running
on a mitsubishi amity CM-1 but couldn't keep X running from session to
session under a UMSDOS install.
I also manually edit files, and break things too 8^P
This is part of linux.............
BTW I think the video chip is a neomagic 128VK.
Thanks for the wake up call.

What happened is that the fake/real telnetd respawn message came up at the exact time I was going through the setup procedure and it seems to have skipped the VNC and Tcl setup. Of course it works!!. Just a suggestion... what about a check to see if the real telnetd is running and if so don't un-comment the fake telnetd line in /etc/inittab ?

The same fool then couldn't figure out why the X server was saying there was no device definition in XF86Config when more /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config said there was. Then the brain cells woke up and remembered that the X server looks for config file in users root before /usr/X11R6 !! Stupid computers)
